Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.
Although his career began in 1959, much of Dylan’s best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are A-Changin’”, became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His song “Like A Rolling Stone”, released in July of 1965, was named “The Greatest Song of All Time” by Rolling Stone magazine in 2004, placing #1 in a list of 500 titles. Dylan remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2009’s Together Through Life, reached #1 on the charts in the US, Britain, France and several other countries.
Dylan’s early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, Dylan has shown steadfast devotion to traditions of American song, from folk and country/blues to rock and roll and rockabilly, to Gaelic balladry, even jazz, swing and Broadway.
After becoming a Christian, Dylan explored themes of faith, redemption and love while mining the gospel vein. In a few years he found an equilibrium. His last albums can be seen as new highlights in his important career.

It's been speculated that Gary Busey is a bear for many years, but no one can track him down to do the appropriate scientific research, so it remains a mystery.

i have reason to believe that gary busey is actually a bear. do you know if this is true?

That's so terrible. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure we all have some horror stories involving bears... it's so upsetting that we've let it get this bad, and no one except Bob is casting light on the situation.

my grandmother was eaten by bears. it's true. the bears placed a banana peel on the sidewalk, and she slipped. and 6 bears closed in on her before she could get up. :(

I don't understand either. Just last week, while leaving the grocery store I was mugged by a group of Bears wearing mustaches. The police said it was the fourth time it had happened that week, and there's nothing they can do about it... but I think if we all rally together, we could put a stop to this bear violence once and for all.

i don't understand how so many people can live their lives so obliviously. i mean, some people really think that bears aren't a direct threat to our well-being!

Bob Dylan could save us all, with a wave of his hand... but until we respect his views, he's gonna let us remain stuck in this situation.

if more people had listened to his anti-bear songs in the 60s, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

Surely it's clear by now, that Bears are the number one threat to America... and the world.

i agree. bears are a disease, and they need to be stopped.

Why is Bobby criticized for his anti-bear rhetoric? I am behind him 100%.
